Optimum Rapidity Ensuring and Power Resource Saving Two-Coordinate Positioning System

Abstract

The article represents two-coordinate positioning system, which ensures optimum
rapidity of positioning process in two-dimensional space and minimizes equipment wear and power
loss. Proposed control principal guarantees harmonized control of two drives, where the bigger
displacement performing drive acts under maximum velocity and acceleration conditions, and
smaller displacement performing drive is positioned is such way when target position is reached in
the same time, which is needed for bigger displacement drive to fulfil task. The article presents
structure of two-coordinate positioning system, control algorithms and research results describing
control quality of process.
